Isaiah 37:26-28
Evangelical Heritage Version
Isaiah 37:26-28
Evangelical Heritage Version
26 Have you not heard?
I did all this long ago.
I formed all this in ancient times.
Now I caused it all to take place.
I enabled you to destroy fortified cities,
reducing them to heaps of ruins.
27 Their inhabitants were powerless.
Overwhelmed and ashamed,
they were like plants in the field,
like fresh green grass, like grass on a housetop,
and like a field before it has grown.[a]
28 But I know when you stand and when you sit,[b]
when you go out and when you come in,
and how you rage wildly against me.

Isaiah 37:26-28
New International Version
26 “Have you not heard?
Long ago I ordained(A) it.
In days of old I planned(B) it;
now I have brought it to pass,
that you have turned fortified cities
into piles of stone.(C)
27 Their people, drained of power,
are dismayed and put to shame.
They are like plants in the field,
like tender green shoots,
like grass(D) sprouting on the roof,(E)
scorched[a] before it grows up.
